X5 FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Hello Bert, Thanks for your question. MF is achieved using the four way controller. Select the right arrow to choose MF, the up and down arrows allow for manual focus adjustment.

X5 FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Hello Bert, I have tried the manual settings followed by a shutdown. The settings have been retained but in order to manually adjust the focus again the first move is a right click of the four way controller to initiate manual focus. This is followed by up and down with the four way controller to ma...

X5 FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Hi, I now have my X-5 now for a couple of weeks. I am very impressed with it. Of course, it is no K-5, but it doesn't want to be. I have used it for very close technical close ups. Great!! The movable screen makes this very easy. I have used it in a hall in the evening at my grand daughters co...

PENTAX X5 BUILD QUALITY
I'm not a big fan of EVFs and when I had a Pentax X90 I ended up using the back screen. However, these bridge cameras do have many advantages and as an all-in-one photo solution can't be beaten. Yes, there are limitations, but it depends on what sort of way we wish to use a camera.

Which camera to advise for a novice
I'm no expert on this but at present Asda (at least in Wrexham) have a decent sale on point and shoots - I picked up an Optio LS465 for £40.00 my better half and son to share. It is not the greatest camera available but it is tiny and seems to perform well enough, something of this type (there we...

MX-1 first impressions
A few photos posted in the 'Your Photos' section (Silkypics is quite different to PDCU4 which has thrown me a bit). I didn't realise how useful being able to tilt the screen would be, helps avoid the worst of the glare. I've got some shots I otherwise wouldn't have been bothered to bend down for....

Excellent! Seeing those sticklebacks takes me back to my childhood - cheap nylon net and jam jar in hand!

Hi, I posted a few of my impressions a while back on the forum (from real world use), plus a few images. If you search back you will find the post, but basically (to summarize)- I like it :-)

Good to give it a go like that, but of course there's more than one answer. But I'll try and others will no doubt add. Set the ISO to approx 200 (as a starting point.) If you want a large 'depth of field' (most things in focus) set the aperture to about f11. If you want a narrow depth of field to ma...

Can I just suggest the reverse point of view to the original question? Having used manual cameras before the automatic versions were born (remember the Halina 35X which is what I had in my school-days?) Everything was completely manual; setting the shutter speed, aperture, and focus. Dialling in an...

Hi, regarding the original post. I went from a Konica Minolta A200 bridge camera to the Canon G9. The small sensors meant blown skies and far too deep depth of field.The control they in theory offered therefore was limited by the sensor size and ultra wide lenses. Pentax KX, KR and now K5 have...

Terry, You have lots of good advice here but I will add some more/different points anyway - Before you start again, you might like to restore the camera to its default settings - see pages 310-311 in your User Manual for how to do this. (The default settings are listed on pages 304 to 309.) ...

I think that when switching from using a camera in auto to manual setting it is best to go to full manual which is not as dificult as may think, the important thing to understand is how changing a setting affect the end result. I would set the metering to mutli-segement for now, which will averag...

Sorry I don't know PhotoScape or what it is capable of Terry so I'll put what I did in general terms any comprehensive photo editor can replicate. Trying to put the edits in order of importance to the image: 1) I increased the sharpness quite strongly. I used highpass type sharpening but I do...
